Hi everyone
Since this is my first complete grow im looking for some guidance as to when would be the perfect time to harvest.
I've made some mistakes but given that im pretty happy how it all turned out.
I started counting flowering weeks as soon as i switched the lights. Right now im in week 10 of flowering.
Im struggling a little bit with temps since i have no extraction fan (28-29C). Had problems with root gnats - was fighting almost throughout the whole grow with phantom mg/N deficiency... i burned the plants with nutrients, then i flushed the plants and almost killed them, then my soil was like ph 5 and i was trying to lower it even more because my broken ph stick was showing me constantly 8+ph, then stressed my plants with way too much light and the story goes on and on..
but all in all i am very happy that i made almost every possible mistake i could coz i learned a ton. Cant wait for my next try 
Light in use is EB gen2 3500k 230w DIY in a 2x2 tent.
I am using biobizz lightmix with Remo nutrients and 15l smart pots (4gal).
My plan is to do a double harvest on my Strawberry lemonade since I left way too many lower branches which didnt get enough light.
Also i was thinking about doing 48h of darkness before chopping but is it doable with double harvest? How should i execute that part - havent found much info about 48h of darkness in comination with double harvest. Should i skip 48h of darkness or double harvest if not possible - for better yield what would you guys recommend?
I'd like to avoid couch lock effect so i guess im looking for the milky trichomes but still after hundreds of hours of reading and learning im lacking actual real life expirience.
Let me know if you need any more info or pics, i'd gladly provide it asap.
Thanks a lot everyone for your time and effort.
